We had my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary here tonight, just a small family dinner which could not have better. Beth was beyond fabulous as our server, she was knowledgeable, attentive and personable, The food was just fantastic. From the scallops, octopus and oysters to start...to the mains of steak, goat, risotto and pasta for both adults and kids the food was delicious. I highly recommend the apple tart for dessert and to finish the tawny port. There arent words for how good this meal was, the only regret we have is that we come from Sydney and wont be able to return on a regular basis. A huge thank you to the all the staff for making this a memorable meal and Anniversary.More
Whenever we are visiting Melbourne we make sure we dine at Scopri. From the friendly welcome when we arrive to our farewell we were treated by professional wait staff who knew and loved their job. The food is amazing. Best Italian ever. We shared the...tuna tartare to start. I enjoyed the pea risotto with spanned crab while my friend loved the flavours of the agnolotti. I ordered a glass of champagne while my friend prefers Prosecco. Both were poured at the table. Quality bread with glorious olive oil. We shared a leaf salad, picked from their farm; perfectly dressed. The pannacotta and perfect espresso martini finished off a memorable meal. We had the early seating. 6pm for 2 hours. And never felt rushed. Highly recommended.More
Very upmarket. So many staff! A unique dining experience. Interesting menu, not a huge variety to choose from, tasty small meals. Sadly very sick exactly two hours after meal, and very grateful to be at home and able to go to bed. Did advise the...restaurant, though did not get a reply.More
Such a lovely evening spent here. The staff were attentive and really friendly. The food was amazing and there is a vast variety of dishes and specials available. Would definitely visit again! Really good value.
Love this restaurant! The ambience is so professional, yet personal and friendly. Every dish is unique and different to anything I’ve had elsewhere. The staff are attentive and friendly. As a solo diner, it can be daunting to find a restaurant that makes me feel...comfortable to go to, but Scopri has such a warm and friendly feel, I feel part of the family.More
Experiencing Scopri Italian Food and Wine at 191 Nicholson St, Carlton, VIC 3053, was an absolute delight. Celebrating a birthday with close friends, the restaurant's Italian cuisine and inviting atmosphere made for a memorable evening. Stepping inside, the beautifully presented interior immediately set a welcoming...tone. The restaurant's meticulous cleanliness, evident in sparkling wine glasses and spotless surroundings, ensured a comfortable and hygienic environment. The menu's diverse offerings, complemented by daily specials, showcased Scopri's commitment to culinary excellence. Signature dishes like Fettuccine Ragu D'anatra and Quaglia aerostat embodied the essence of Italian flavours. Impressively, Scopri boasts an extensive wine list, with an exciting twist – the option to bring your own wine for a nominal fee of $30 per bottle, adding a personalized touch to the experience. Value for money was undeniable. The combination of delectable dishes, attentive service, and inviting ambience made every dollar worthwhile. A personal connection with the owner, Anthony, added an extra layer of warmth to the experience, reinforcing the restaurant's welcoming atmosphere. In conclusion, Scopri Italian Food and Wine is a must-visit Italian restaurant. With its authentic dishes, charming ambience, and excellent value, it's the perfect place for a delightful culinary journey.More
We ate here again recently for a special occasion and once again loved the food and service. We chose to take along a special bottle of Shiraz which was decanted by the waiter and was delightful! All the food was utterly delicious however the standouts...were the agnolotti and goat, they were sublime! Do yourself a favour and have a meal at this outstanding restaurant, you will not be disappointed!More
This restaurant is exceptional for a Dinner or Lunch with friends and I have been enjoying the Anthony’s food, wine and hospitality over many years. Earlier this week, I visited Scopri again, with a good friend and was not disappointed. The food is delicious, the...ambience cosy without being congested and the service is excellent. An air of contentment and satisfaction pervades the establishment. Dani, who hails from Monza, attended to our every need without being intrusive. His service was excellent. Water (either tap or bottled) and warm crusty bread with Olive oil is served after the Menu is explained. We enjoyed entrees and mains. The entrees were Quail and Kingfish Carpaccio. Both were beautifully prepared, the Quail wrapped in Prosciutto and the Carpaccio thinly sliced with Olive Oil and topped with Caviar. For mains we both ordered the Goat. It was served with potatoes and peas and the meat just fell off the bones. Mouthwatering! There is an extensive wine list at reasonable prices however, on this occasion we brought our own as we both wanted to try something different, (A 2007 Elizabeth Mount Pleasant Semillon and 2006 Penfolds RWT), which complemented the food perfectly. A reasonable corkage charge is applied if you bring your own wine. Dani insisted on decanting the Red, which proved an excellent idea. While there has been some turnover in staff, the excellent service has been maintained. Anthony runs the business perfectly ensuring a customer experience which continues to exceed expectations, notwithstanding the challenges caused by Covid and it’s aftermath. Definitely, an Italian Classic!More
Absolutely superb and authentic Italian. Great atmosphere and service. Had a wonderful risotto and then an impeccable butterflied whiting. Highly recommended.
Absolutely superb again. Second time dining here. Both for special occasion lunches and did not disappoint. Service impeccable, food astounding and atmosphere perfect. The ability to BYO a special bottle from your cellar, despite Scopri having an impeccable wine list themselves, is an added bonus...and welcomed. Quail appetizer and Agnolotti are "must tries", and if you enjoy your meat the Ribeye is superb, succulent and cooked to perfection. Grazie Scopri, we will be back!More
This is our favorite neighborhood restaurant. The food and service are excellent. We're eager to return.
Surely the best Italian in town with the best staff. Best news is that there are rumours that are bringing back the pumpkin gnocchi served in a pumpkin from Arrivaderci days. This will be a disaster for getting a booking which are already hard enough...to get!More
What a wonderful friendly local eatery. Bustling with people, attentive staff and great italian food and wine. We had a very rewarding evening and would recommend this restaurant without reservation.
Had not been for a while. Took international guests. We opted for a pescatarian “feed me option” and it was sensational. The service was top notch and a true sense of hospitality. Credit to this institution of a restaurant.
